Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets


Greetings,

I’d like to get some recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets.

I currently have two PS Audio outlets in my current room, but my system will be relocated to its permanent location when I finish my dedicated listening room in a few months.  I’m using 10 gauge Romex for the dedicated 20 amp outlets.

I have a few electrical outlets on my list of interest;

- Audioquest NRG Edison Duplex

- Pangea Audio Premier XL

- The Maestro Outlet (by Cruze First Audio) - *Great reviews on website and forums

- Hubbell outlet (not sure of any particular model number?)

Please share your impressions and any comparison experiences would be great.

Thanks in advance!

+1 Good approach, I’ve done that before with other accessories. Not being in a hurry is really important when evaluating changes likely to be subtle.

The quick answer, no. Not that I might not try that some day.

I tend to go through an upgrade cycle… speakers, components, wires, and adjust for a year or two and then just listen for many years. I’m in the listening period. During this time I know exactly what my system sounds like, 2 - 3 hours of listening a day. Then every once in a while I’ll think of some little tweak I have not tried… like a few months ago I got Cardas caps for my unused RCA outputs on my preamp. I didn’t notice any difference… but then the cost was very low. Then I tried one outlet… nice improvement… then the one to the amp… small improvement, not as much as the one to the other components… but worthy of the $200 investment.

 

Anyway during the long period between upgrades… for me usually about seven years, I use this time to evaluate more subtle small upgrades.

You need to do a video to immortalize all that you do. Clearly a lot going on under the hood. 

Thanks for your kind words. I am a scientist at heart (also by training) and am very intensely interested in what I am interested in… and drive to understand the forest through the trees. My interests are very long termed.

@jea48 no I ordered the Hubble 5362. No replying needed. 

 

Made zero difference. Will let it run a while. 

I also have PS Audio receptacles,

my neighbor is retired electrician 

He installed for me he impressed with these.

I live a Condo, So all is good with that.
